Tethered by Faith: Facing Life’s Storms Together

About this episode

The episode discusses the speaker's experience of facing her husband's cancer diagnosis and how faith helped her cope with the situation.

The speaker recalls reaching a breaking point, screaming in anger and calling out to God after learning her 42-year-old husband, a third grade teacher, had cancer while their kids played downstairs. In the middle of her rage and disbelief, she felt unexpectedly close to God and describes how faith tethered her to life and carried her through the storm.
